      Although George was not the “nicest” person in the World, he was a great owner of a great sports franchise and I’m sure he will be missed amongst Yankee and baseball fans alike.

      RIP Mr. Steinbrenner.

      So what? He played by the rules set up by MLB.

      They still have to go out on the field and produce.

      Do you not forget they were terrible during the mid to late 80′s and he turned it around!

      I love Yankee haters….can’t blame them like I said for playing by the rules.

      I kind of remember some team from Boston spending right up with them the past 10 years; winning two titles.
